Practice Begins

By Dustin Lewis

The Operations Challenge practice started on the first of January, and we have had a great turnout of teams this year, including both returning teams and new composite teams. Everyone is really excited to get practicing.

There is one new part of the safety event this year. This new element is a virtual reality task that one guy will have to complete. It will be interesting to see how that goes for the guys. Also, after this year’s WEAU Annual Conference, we are getting all new equipment for the new maintenance event that will take place as part of the National Operations Challenge to be held in Chicago. Since it’s a totally new event from Vaughan, it will be fun to have everyone learn it and have something new to look forward to.

We had another great Midyear Conference this past November and the PWO would like to thank all the presenters for their great presentations, as well as the organizing committees and James Dixon for all the hard work that was put into making it a great conference.
